Hey Charlie! How about you get Stevie into the live stream booth and the two of you commentate a match this week? Andy

Corey Deuel and Joey Kong starting shortly.

Hi All, Lots of excitement coming up with the World Tournament in New York starting Sunday! Down here in Maryland we are gearing up for yet another installment of our 14.1 event. Peter Burrows always puts together a great event and this year is no different. It will be the weekend of Aug...

Jude and Geoff, You could always come down to Maryland Aug 18/19th and play if you're looking for more 14.1. I'm pretty sure Lipsky and Barouty are attending as they do every year. Last I heard there are 5 spots left. I'll post some info in a new thread shortly. Andy

The rule that isn't so clear to me is when the last object ball is in the kitchen (not on the head spot) and you leave the cue ball in the racking area. So you spot the cue ball on the head spot right? Now, can you legally shoot that last object ball that is in the kitchen? Andy

Take the 3 foul for sure. My first thought was same as Dennis. But as sjm points out it takes perfect speed to not leave a 2 ball cut. And you have to miss the 5. But if I'm the other I could thin the 2 freezing you on the back rail.

Wow! Those are some big numbers. Mike Miller's 175 didn't even hold up! Nice to see Mike Davis return to put up a bigger number to get in. Andy

Nice run, congrats! That break shot is a tough one. The inside english helps it pick up speed out of the corner but also makes it liable to spin around the rack without touching. Outside english would hit the rack but so much speed would be gone. Maybe best to use straight follow and try to...

I watched 3 or 4 good players taking alternate turns trying to run 100 at the World's a couple years ago. I think it was Tony Robles, Zion and maybe Mika and/or Lipsky. This same discussion came up when Zion asked which ball to leave for a break shot. Tony said very definitively to leave the...

Another finer point worth mentioning that I forgot. It's of course best to be hitting one of the inner two balls in the line of 4 on the side of the rack. I actually hit the object ever so slightly off center favoring the safer side. So if I'm hitting the ball next to the corner ball, I aim off...

I'll reiterate what's already been said since it is so crucial...you must hit a ball as straight on as possible. Follow is also needed to keep the object ball from pushing the cue ball. Using no follow will result in a "push-back" of about an inch which is often a sell out. The other point that...

That's phenomenal Danny! I've started a new 2012 thread so I've recorded your number over in that thread. Andy

Sure...jump on the list in front of me! Andy -> Remembers you from 14.1 Hall of Fame dinner table!

Happy New Year shooters! Rumor has it that the world ends this year so don't hold back! Post your 2012 runs in this thread and I'll keep this first post up to date with everyone's runs. This list is for regular posters here on AZ Billiards. Videos are always in demand and generate good...

All is better now. Sorry Steve, but M for Marop comes alphabetically first so he passes you. However...there are still 8 more days in the year to post a higher number! Andy

Hi Dan, I don't think that will quite work. I play in the Big Daddy's league near Baltimore, MD. We have about 18 players right now that play in two separate divisions. You play everyone in your division twice. In the first division we have Shaun Wilkie who runs over 100 a couple of times per...

Hey Wiggly, Here's a drill I used to do 10 years ago. It won't necessarily fix your problem but will make you more aware of it and maybe that'll help in some way. It is the age old drill of shooting the cue ball from the head spot straight down table and get it to bounce right back into your...

Thanks for the insights Steve! I like Alex's "fake it til you make it". I think there's a lot of value in that. Players can definitely take you lightly (and me more so!). Last year I played Jasmin who fooled around in her first two matches but won easily. When we played - same thing until she...

Steve, I watched the end of your match and your description was nicely written. I thought there were 2 areas that made it even harder than you described. 1. The break shot into the side was heavy inside english right? That certainly makes it a tougher shot in my book especially at such high...

Must be Danny Mastermaker. He is young and getting better very fast. I didn't even know he played straight pool and would travel clear to New York to play! Congrats! Andy
